    No one is having fun in game. People are playing out their subs, while the 5 of you who enjoy sadomasochistic things continue to play for fun.

    How so? I run a 100 man guild. Not big by any standards but everyone in it seems to be enjoying themselves. Are there complaints? Sure. Are people leaving en masse like everyone on the forums seems to say they are? Not really.

    I know that the 1-50 zones appear to be full but that might be misleading with bots taking up large ammounts of the instance pop. The veteran zones are dead, at least for the AD side.

    I will definitely agree that the population of Vet zones aren't what they used to be. It now seems like everyone is either in Craglorn (because it is the best place for VRs to get XP and find loot) or Cyrodiil.

    That may be your experience, but the 5 guilds I am/was part of, in 1 I am one of only 2 left playing (40+ players), another I am 1 of 6 left playing (50+ players), and the 3 trade guilds I (was) in are now ghost towns. So, unlike you I have seen the mass exodus.

    Trade guilds seem to be where solo type of players enjoy to gather. I could be wrong.

    People who are having fun in game have generally less reason to come to the forums and post than people who are unhappy with something. As a result the forums have a higher concentration of negative posts, compared to what you see in-game.

    I won't argue with you about whether solo players make up the majority of trade guilds because I don't see how that matters. This is a TES game after all.

    Not looking to argue just trying to supply reason for seeing larger numbers in a trade guild as opposed to well formed, organized guilds.

    This is not a TES game. This is a MMO that is using the IP owned by Bethesda and have taken artistic liberties to make it appear to have a resemblance to a TES game.

    TBQH, I use forums to find the best strategies for what I am playing. When a game dies, I no longer go to talk about it. I move on to another activity or hobby. It takes a special kind of whiner to try to drag others into ones own grave and the internet is full of these trolls who choose to waste their lives crying instead of finding something better to do.

    Or, they are pretending to be sad in attempt to make changes, but in reality, they are over exaggerating like a spoiled drama queen, and then jumping back into their favorite activity, only to find more things to whine about. These people just need attention.

    Well I definitely play this game like it is a TES game. Maybe that's why I enjoy it?

    Want to continue to enjoy the game?

    Lot out of the forums, and never come back. I haven't seen a game yet where the forum community isn't full of the most depressing, sadomasochistic no-lifers you could possibly imagine. Myself included :)

    But seriously, though. Stay off MMO forums. Serious.
    Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
    Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
    Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.

    XBOX NA
    Ruze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.

    He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.

    This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.

    Oh, since we are at numbers again...

    While it probably will always be true that only the minority will take it to the forums and the majority will play the game and be entertained while doing so, this insight probably will never do any good when the total is steadily decreasing.

    I personally read a complaint as some kind of advise on what to watch out for...

    "X is OP"

    Well, I better think about using X then, right?

    Can you specify what "total" you are referring to? I agree with the rest of your quote though.

    I'm one who does, I love the game ATM though have my doubts long-term, but then I enjoy forum PVP, most players I know never use forums at all so whether they're happy or angry you'll never see them post.
